I'm officially opening the job hunt. As y'all know, I love technology. Finding ways to make the most of resources on hand is my specialty. Non-Profit world for the past decade.

I love building teams that feel valued, with a clear vision of how their work makes a difference.

Looking for orgs with a drive to make the world better & offer my skills to help that happen.

Boost, Like, Reply, have at it. 🙂

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

在後世的演義文學中，蘇妲己是可怕的狐狸精，一心謀害周昌，而真實的歷史很可能是，蘇妲己才是讓周昌獲釋出獄的關鍵因素。

妲己雖背負諸多惡名而死，但周人奪取天下之後，武王還是重用了她的家人。紂王自殺後，商朝並未完全滅亡，周武王指定了紂王的兒子武庚（祿父）繼續在殷都擔任商王。這個武庚很可能就是蘇妲己生的。周人對蘇氏家族的倚重，和後世的演義文學可謂大相徑庭。

Signal Protocol for a P2P Webapp

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #NodeJS limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my #P2P messaging project.

Protocol Demo:
https://signal.positive-intentions.com/

P2P App Demo:
https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.

Following a decision by the Codeberg e. V.'s Presidium, Codeberg e. V. has joined the ranks of many organizations as a co-signatory of the draft letter of the "Keep Android Open" initiative: https://keepandroidopen.org/draft-letter/

Apart from the impact on the many independent developers hosting their source code on https://codeberg.org, we are concerned by the greater societal implications the Android ecosystem's current trajectory will cause. For more information, see: https://keepandroidopen.org

You are cursed: occasionally, when attempting to listen to a song, you will instead hear the most beautiful music you have ever heard, a melody that will haunt you for the rest of your days. You will never be able to learn what it is called or who composed it. You will never be able to play it again on purpose.

But just when you have convinced yourself that it must have been a hallucination, or a in dream… that is when you will hear it again.

The devil himself could never.

There is a profile verification system on Mastodon, but it works differently to other social networks. It's self-service and is based around you or your organisation having a website to verify from. More info about how to verify your Mastodon account at:

(If you're having difficulty getting the verification to work, you might want to try going through the troubleshooting list in the article linked above.)

My flip phone is arriving today! Honestly, I'm kinda scared. I know it's silly but I've had a a smartphone since the original Moto Droid dropped almost twenty years ago. I need to break free but it's going to be a big change.

I just kept noticing how AI SREs are generally framed as nameless "gonna replace this role" products, whereas coding assistants are framed as partners and are given names.

I decided to expand on this by backing it with data, borrowing ideas from how older AI assistants named after women (eg. cortana, siri, alexa) were all coded like secretaries to argue that the framing devices used to create these new AI products reveals a lot about how the builders and the buyers perceive the roles these tools are supposed to support or replace.

I also take a bit of time to write about the challenges and risks of picking self-limiting analogies in how you frame and construct your system even though it is initially helpful to make progress, and what that might imply for software engineers going forward.

Me and my kid last night, looking at linkedin.

"Why does everyone on this thing call themselves 'CEO and co-founder'?"

"That just means they live in San Francisco. Or they want to. That's how people there talk."

"Consultant for well-known multinational on customer service quality issues.... I know this guy, he's seventeen! And he's a jerk! He yelled at a barista in a starbucks and then put this on his profile."

"That the guy whose dad owns a cybertruck?"

Starting to believe that “moving fast” in professional environments is actually just “delay this problem for someone else to deal with in the future”.

Context: I’ve been helping oversee an email service provider (ESP) migration for an enterprise org (1,000+ people).

Every other day we find unexpected issues that were caused by someone trying to save time and move quickly in the past. And we have to spend the time those people supposedly saved in the past by fixing their issues now, in their future.

No time was actually saved, folks. It was an illusion.

Over the weekend, I created https://robot.villas using @fedifyFedify: ActivityPub server framework 2.0. Not knowing how activitypub worked made this a lot harder than I expected, but did get there in the end.

Each bot mirrors an RSS feed. @nyt_travelNYT > Travel as an example. You can add your RSS feed for funzies at https://github.com/icco/robot.villas/blob/main/feeds.yml

Let me know if you run into any issues with my new little bot farm of news.
